“It’s just some little stuff,” Manning said. “It’ll get worked out, but I don’t have much information on that right now.”

Manning for several days opted not to comment on anything until the deal was official, but he relented with the understanding that the questions would not dwell on his contract.

He did say the tired right arm he usually feels after a week of training camp has not yet surfaced, perhaps because he’s taking better care of his body.

“I’ve been more conscious of it now — icing it after every practice, really getting stretched a little more between practices or when there’s time, just really being preventative from the get-go rather than wait until it’s tired to start treating it,” Manning said.

With all the young, unproven receivers to work with, Manning admitted he’s teaching more than ever.

“At night it’s about studying your playbook and it’s a grind right now so they’ve got to be in the book every night,” Manning said.

Eleven players sat out the morning practice, but most notable was one who was on the field: DT Fred Robbins. He was activated Sunday off the physically unable to perform list and upped his workload slightly. Robbins, coming off off-season micro-fracture knee surgery, was even on the field with the starting defensive line for the beginning of the team period, taking a few snaps.

C Shaun O’Hara (triceps) returned, allowing the starting offensive line to get on the field together for the first time in nearly a week.

G Chris Snee (leg) did not work in the evening. . . . Rookie CBs Stoney Woodson and DeAndre Wright had their best practices of camp. . . . Lawrence Tynes went 2 of 4 on field goals, missing from 28 and 30 yards. . . . OL Orrin Thompson appeared woozy as he left practice early and DT Anthony Bryant was carted off. . . . Players have morning meetings today and the rest of the day off.
